utildot

line saving javascript inheritence.

inherits(constructor, constructor, super)

• grab a super constructor
• apply it to some child constructors using a variadic version of util.inherits
• the last parameter given is the super constructor
• any number of constructors given sooner inherit from a prototype of the super constructor

instead of doing this:

var util = require('util');
var EventEmitter = require('events').EventEmitter;
 
util.inherits(Ctor, EventEmitter);
util.inherits(AnotherCtor, EventEmitter);
 
function Ctor(){}
function AnotherCtor(){}

just do:

var util = require('utildot')
 
util.inherits(Ctor, AnotherCtor, require('events').EventEmitter);
 
function Ctor(){}
function AnotherCtor(){}
//... inherit down to any number of constructors passed before the superCtor

install:

$ npm i utildot

test:

$ npm t
